Sumario:The Hualfín valley is located in the province of Catamarca in northwestern Argentina. The valley has been characterized by a significant sequence of prehistoric occupation of different societies during Pre-Columbian times. The earliest agro-pastoralist societies in the area emerged in the valley between BC III and AD IV during the Formative Period. Unlike other Pre-Hispanic societies of northern Argentina, little information has been recorded about their funerary practices and the anthropological characteristics of the populations involved.
